Tottenham Hotspur have now officially missed out on the potential managerial appointment of Vincent Kompany, who has decided to sign a new contract with Burnley.
Tottenham Hotspur linked with Burnley manager Vincent Kompany
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is on the hunt for a new permanent manager.
Ryan Mason is in charge of Tottenham until the end of the season.
One of the managers who has been linked with Tottenham is former Manchester City defender Kompany.
The Belgian has guided Burnley to automatic promotion to the Premier League for next season.
The Clarets were the dominant team in the Championship this season and blew everyone away.
Burnley also played brilliant football and were a joy to watch.
Last month, TEAMtalk reported that Tottenham are interested in hiring Kompany as their new manager.
The report added that West Ham United and Crystal Palace also admire the former City star.
The Daily Mail also reported in April that Tottenham want to appoint Burnley boss Kompany as their new manager.
‘It also feels right’
However, the 37-year-old has decided to stay at Burnley and sign a new contract, as announced on the Clarets’ official website.
And he is over the moon, and so is Burnley chairman Alan Pace.
Kompany said: “Burnley and Turf Moor felt right pretty much from the start – so it also feels right to sign for the next five years.
“Together with the fans we have made Turf Moor a fortress again and continue to look forward to the future and the job of making Burnley better with every step.”
Pace said: “We are ecstatic Vincent has signed a new deal! He is the perfect fit for how we all see Burnley Football Club moving forward.
“An extraordinary leader, setting ever higher standards and driving our club to the levels we all want to achieve.”
